FENDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 16, 1907.

Application filed February 19,1907. Serial No- 858,259.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS L. TACKITT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Busch, in the Territory of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Fender; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to fenders, for cars, trucks and similar heavy vehicles.

The object of the invention is to provide a novel device of strong, durable and inexpensive construction 1 der constructed in accordance with this invention and shown applied to a truck. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the fender. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the depending arm.

Referring to the drawings, 1. designates the central portionoi my fender which is provided with curved ends 2. The fender is mounted on the side of the car as shown, and extends forwardly and rearwardly of the truck wheels, the curved portions 2 being adapted to throw anything out of its path, thus preventing the wheels from running over the same. It is understood of course, that these fenders are mounted one on each side of the truck.

The main support of the fender is a depending L- shapcd arm 3 which extends from the body of the truck to the bottom of the fender. On each side of the arm 3, are shoulders 4, which prevent the fender from being broken whenit strikes a heavy object. On either end of the arm 3, are recesses 4, which are engaged by suitable projections 5, which, cooperating with the arm 3 hold the fender in a rigid position at all times. It is understood of course, that the fender will be made of various thicknesses according to the size of the device to which it is to be attached. And I desire it to be understood, changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of this invention.

What is claimed is:

1. The combination of a truck, having a depending L- shapcd arm, a fender secured thereto and extending longitudinally of said truck and having each end curved inwardly, recesses formed in each end of said fender, and projections mounted on said truck and engaging said recesses, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a truck, having a depending L- shuped arm, a fender secured thereto and having both ends curved inwardly, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name -to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
